Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 by Sahil Malik(available at amazon http://tinyurl.com/25nm466 )I started reading this book as soon as I got it into my hands and here are few things that are really exceptional in this book.

Outline(s):#1 This is written as a story - so, you don't get bored at all; also will keep you reading cover-cover.#2 Every chapter in its position and situation is perfectly laid out; you will never miss a link if you are reading from the begging#3 Each chapter is again written independently with enough examples; you will mostly not require referring to other chapters and can read pin point to what you need#4 This is not one of the thick, bound large books that would scare you! It’s been grouped into 12 chapters; Short and Sweet (I liked the way chapters 6 and 7 are split into 2 parts)#5 Readability is perfect! No big paragraphs and bullet points where ever necessary; makes reading easy.

Technical Abilities:#1 No doubt with his expertise on SharePoint, Sahil did an excellent job in this book#2 Book takes you through Installation, Setup etc. - so for novice readers with no prior knowledge of the technology it’s easy to setup your own environment#3 Basic’s - Again if you have a fresh face for SharePoint - don’t worry!#4 Scenario's, Opinions and for more information links - If you want more, then you know where to go#5 No penny less - penny more; you get exactly what and how much you need from the technical content.#6 Simple examples; you can extend them based on it.#7 Reading Key at the beginning of the chapters identifies the reader and provides suggestions#8 Usage of latest language syntax where ever needed; - developers will definitely gain from this.

Overall, this book is properly consolidated for all kinds of audience and it’s been a wonderful experience reading the book.
